Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galactica

[Muffit]

Yes folks, here is our very own thread, in honor of Douglas Adams, to dazzle each other with the most bizarre things we can think of and can't find any place else they will fit. Feel free to post your wild and wacky meanderings here!

To start off, movies that display our feelings toward the new BSG! How about Oliver Twit, begging for a continuation thusly:

"Please sir, I want some more..."
:D

:muffit:

[Flamingo Girl]

Don't forget the paper towels.

[jewels]

Or Marvin, the depressed robot. Is Zaphod aboard tonight?

[Flamingo Girl]

Anyone up for some poetry?

[Muffit]

DON'T PANIC

:D

[emerita]

Ron Moore's new song.....: We're once.....twice...three times a lady....

[Muffit]

:D

[Flamingo Girl]

*hides panic under a towel*

[Muffit]

INQUIRING MINDS WANNA KNOW

Okay, I got a weird one for ya. I never thought about this before till it struck me the other day when a cousin said it:

"My water broke"

Errr, ummm, please explain to me exactly how water can break? We "break the ice", and we "break wind, but water that breaks???

Am I being silly?
Only the Guide knows for sure... :)

:muffit:

[Flamingo Girl]

Now that IS odd, as I asked someone today how one would break a dollar bill, paper doesn't break, it tears.

[Muffit]

That's a good one too Flamingo Girl! :)

:muffit:

[Flamingo Girl]

*bows*

Thank you.

[repcisg]

How does one break the wind?

[emerita]

http://216.40.249.192/mysmilies/contrib/blackeye/lol.gif...fell out of my chair on that one.......

[repcisg]

:devil:

[emerita]

Oh, I have one. My Dad use to say when we were little...." Let's get going so we can get back".......Why go in the first place?????

[Flamingo Girl]

What just happened, my flower pot just turned into a whale?

[Muffit]

Another quandary...

Last night my fever broke... does that mean I should call a doctor to come and fix it??? :rolleyes:

:muffit:

[Flamingo Girl]

No, I think you should just take a break.

[repcisg]

Where can I pick one up?

[Flamingo Girl]

At a break shop?

[Muffit]

If I need one fast, should I get a breakfast? :D

[Flamingo Girl]

Sure, get it on your coffee break.

[jewels]

You're both breaking me up. LOL

[Micheleh]

*does a break dance*

[Flamingo Girl]

We should be careful that this sillyness doesn't cause anyone to have a break down.

[emerita]

But then again , if we are committed....we can break-out..........

[Flamingo Girl]

Gimme a break.

[emerita]

Wasn't that an old T.V. show?

[Muffit]

...or part of a Kit Kat commercial :D

:muffit:

[jewels]

*breaks for commercial, or is it brakes for commercial?*

:music:
Give me a break,
Oh, give me a break,
Break me off a piece of that
Kit. Kat. bar.
:music:

Um, you're both right. Kit Kat jingle AND sitcom.

[Flamingo Girl]

We need to call Meineke.

[emerita]

Is your muffler smokin???

[jewels]

No, her brakes need work!
(sorry F.G. could not resist that....) LOL

[Flamingo Girl]

Well, Jewels, that WAS where I was going with that....



So....how DO you mend a broken heart?

[emerita]

You BREAK off with the one that BROKE it.....

[repcisg]

Club Med (at least 3 weeks)

[jewels]

or Scotch tape???
(personally repcisg's option sounds better.

[emerita]

yeah, I could use a Club Med right now ........

[Flamingo Girl]

Scotch tape? Are you INSANE???


Everyone knows you use duct tape!

[emerita]

Duck tape?.....Ouch....well, maybe...if it comes with McGyver.....

[Muffit]

Hey, no fair! Why do ducks get all the credit? Don't beavers count for something? There's pigeon-toed, chicken pox, and goose pimples --- and none of these animals even have any talent --- hey, why can't there be beaver pimples? I say give beavers their own famous expression!!! How about www.ShowMeTheBeaver.com? :D

:beaver:

[Flamingo Girl]

Beavers have their own expresion, it's just not to be shared on a family-friendly board.

[Muffit]

Oops, oh yeah :blush: I keep forgetting.

Well, how about an expression that /is/ family friendly? Let's see, what do beavers do? They build dams - oh shoot, another no-no word :)

Maybe I should switch to voles? :D

:muffit:

[repcisg]

Ever see a beaver walk on land? They waddle and drag their tail, so how about:

Waddles like a Beaver!
Or
Dragging his tail like a Beaver!
:D


Of course we make coats out of Beavers, so how about

She had hair a Beaver would be proud of.

Now I'll quit!:devil:

[Muffit]

Thanks for the ideas repcisg! :)

:muffit:

[Flamingo Girl]

Hairy beavers...heh....

[Muffit]

Flamingo :) Hey, we do have a Harry Beaver in "There are those who believe"... hmm, gotta revisit that sometime...

Bouncin' Beaver --> :beaver:

[Flamingo Girl]

*squirts Nair at the beaver*

[emerita]

Well, you can keep the beavers, I'll take McGyver and the duct tape....:drool: :naughty:

[Flamingo Girl]

Duct tape, oh the possibilities.

[emerita]

Ummmmm..You've got that right...although I would rather have Col. Jack O'neill.."Take me through the gate, baby......"

[Flamingo Girl]

*mumbles* Right, no one is questioning HIS gender*

[emerita]

ROTFLMAO!!!!

[emerita]

Just saw an old episode of A-team... I got a compelling urge to switch the channel......but watched long enough to see Starbuck......he is such a babydoll.

[default]

Anyone up for a Pan Galactic Garggle Blasters while we sit here and fume about the remake?

[emerita]

.....?....... Sure...what is it?....and....in the words of Harry Stamper....."DAMN GLAD TO SEE YA!!!"

[default]

a drink from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

[emerita]

Really? man, it has been along time since I read that or watched the movie....I guess I forgot.....

[Muffit]

Rumor has it that Hitchhiker's Guide is headed for the big screen :). It's been in the works for a while but just never seemed to go anywhere. With the passing of Douglas Adams it seems to have jumpstarted it somewhat. One rumor is that Jim Carrey wants to be in it -- COOL!!!

:muffit:

[Muffit]

Wait a minute, there appears to be a Babel fish in my ear... :D

:muffit:

[Flamingo Girl]

Yes, I DO have a towel.

[default]

I've read my copy sooooo many times the book is starting to fall apart. I can't wait if they do turn it into a movie to see who plays Ford Prefect and Zaphod.

[emerita]

An updated version will be great. Imagine what they can do with CGI that they couldn't do with the first one......

Bsg1Fan1975,

Jim Carrey wants to play Zaphod(!) Rumor has it that Hugh Grant is in the running for Arthur. I would love to see Jim Carrey in it, that would ensure it was a hit!
:muffit:

if he does it will be

[Flamingo Girl]

My sister had the trilogy, I just have the first book. I'd love to get ahold of the trilogy, however.

[Muffit]

Hi Flamingo,

Actually, there are 5 books in the trilogy (trilogy?!), all available at amazon. I finally broke down and bought them a couple years ago. There's also a 6th which is the beginnings of a book and a lot of commentary about Adams (The Salmon of Doubt). I don't have that one. The books are:

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Life, the Universe and Everything
So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish
Mostly Harmless

Best fun reading I've had in many years. Marvin the depressed robot steals the show :D.

Here's the link for all of them (phew! The prices went up a bit!)

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/series/-/122/mass_market/ref=ref=pd_sim_series/002-4057797-1616846

:muffit:

[Flamingo Girl]

My sister's trilogy set had all 6 books.

[Muffit]

That's cool! I haven't seen the group for sale as a unit yet, but that would be a lot cheaper I'm sure. Even the fact that the trilogy is a sextet is funny, the cover says:

"The fourth book in the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Trilogy" :D

Hope I wasn't being redundant, if so I apologize. I figured I should list the info anyway on account of this thread title :)

:muffit:

[Flamingo Girl]

She bought it as a set through a book club.

[Flamingo Girl]

I saw the movie of it, and it was very true to the book.

[Senmut]

How many Vipers are normally staged per launch bay?



42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:muffit:

Well, Carrey may be ahead in the race to play Zaphod, but no one else but the original fella could put a Dent in his portrayal of Arthur.

[Muffit]

LOL!

[Flamingo Girl]

I don't know, I think Hugh Grant could do it, if he checks his signature stutter at the door.

[AlphaAce]

It's time to break into a new discussion.
